But this is complemented and supported by a thriving social life.” Students report a wide range of activi- ties and interests outside the classroom. What they all have in common is their satisfaction with life at Rice. “The environment is very inclusive. People are free to do whatever they want with whoever they want.” “On any given Friday night you might find various religious organizations meeting, a group of friends play- ing board games in the commons space, a crowd of people heading to a party, and a carload of students heading off-campus to see a movie.” School-sponsored activities often include “lecture series, recruiting sessions, movie nights, sporting events, parties, board game nights, etc, usually…with free food.”Intramural sports and campus traditions are popular, and “the typical student seems to be involved in at least three or four activities.” Rice undergrads also seem to have a healthy perspective on partying: “This is a wet campus, after all…that said, Rice’s alcohol policy fosters a culture of care in which students… help each other stay safe and make good decisions.” “You can be a drinker or not a drinker and you will find others who choose the same as you.” Finally, some students report that they don’t get off campus much, but others praise Houston’s music and restaurant scenes, and everyone loves the warm, sunny weather!More Less
